New report claims to reveal official launch name of Apple’s 5.5-inch iPhone 6

So it’s very likely that Apple’s 4.7-inch iPhone will be called the iPhone 6, but how will Apple differentiate it from its larger 5.5-inch model? Japanese blog Macokatara, which has a solid track record with Apple rumors, claims that while the 4.7-inch iPhone will indeed by called the iPhone 6, the 5.5-inch model will be called the iPhone 6 Plus.

9to5Mac notes that if this rumor is true, it will be the first time that Apple has used the word “Plus” in a name since the release of the Mac Plus. It’s also worth noting that Macotakara was correct last year with its reports that Apple’s cheaper iPhone would be called the iPhone 5c, so it’s really not out of the question that Apple’s bigger device will be called the iPhone 6 Plus.
